| - Make no bones about it, this is the eye of the storm when it comes to party hotels in Scottsdale... Indigo is surrounded by no less than 38 relatively high-profile bars, restaurants, and nightclubs within stumbling distance which has it's plusses and minuses... Let's start with the plusses: The entire staff is incredibly friendly. You won't find any sarchasm here. The heated pool is excellent. The communal lobby/bar is excellent, especially if you know about the hidden door. The isolated work out room is amazing, and hardley ever used. The shuttle service is beyond par.
The minuses: On busy weekend nights, the entire building is surrounded by a maelstrom of activity until right around 3:00am... I spied security guards from some of the surrounding nightclubs smoking crack in the alcoves, and the noise level, while ignoreable is constant. The hallways, especially in the morning are very active, and the doors seem like they were designed to slam very loudly. The food in the restaurant is bearable, but is nothing special. The patrons all seem to expect this, and with the website name, how could you not understand the concept? The rooms are for the most part quite clean, although the grout in the bathrooms needs more maintenance. The shower in the "disabled" room that I saw had a bathtub with rails instead of a walk-in shower, which seemed backwards from most other "disabled" rooms I've ever had the pleasure to stay in.
If you're a hipster, this place is totally for you. if you're not, go stay at the Hilton down the street... Although I've stayed there, and was really annoyed there to the nth's degree in comparrison...
